Opera 10.50 for Windows is released

By Ruarí Ødegaardruario. Tuesday, March 2, 2010 10:02:08 AM

, , , ,

Windows 10.50 is released and we are still the fastest browser available! If you haven't downloaded it yet, what is taking you so long? Head over to www.opera.com/download, to get your hands on it now. We have gone from Pre-Alpha to Final in just over two months (with a Christmas holiday in between I might add). Never has the development of the desktop browser been so fast. Our developers are rivalling Carakan for speed! But the thanks doesn't just go to them, we simply couldn't have done it without your testing and feedback. So give yourselves a big pat on the back for all that we have achieved together. bigsmile In the last couple of blog posts, several of you commented that our developers deserve some time off and whilst that is true, I know the Mac and UNIX teams are still hungry to get their own versions of 10.50 out. So there will be no slacking off, just yet. Development continues apace! Whilst you Mac and UNIX users await your respective finals, we thought we'd give you another snapshot. Like the Windows final, these builds have the latest rendering improvements but are understandably still rougher around the edges, as they have not yet been fully optimised and integrated into their environments (though Mac is getting close). Highlights
  • The latest Presto and Carakan improvements
Known Issues
  • Mac
    • No support for PowerPC (PPC)
    • Minimal Java Support
    • Possible performance issues on low end machines
  • UNIX
    • Font problems
    • Language input issues
    • Compiz issues
    • No .deb or .rpm packages
    • Some Command line option don't work
WARNING: Opera 10.50 for Mac and Unix is a development snapshot: it contains the latest changes, but may also have severe known issues, including crashes and data loss situations. In fact, it may not work at all. Downloads

RC5, or was it 7?New Snapshot

For the millionth time, this is caused by YouTube, not Opera. It doesn't work in Firefox either, and the reason is YouTube's choice of codec, not a bug.

Stefanklabauter Tuesday, March 2, 2010 11:17:39 AM

since the latest rc some pages (fe www.devexpress.com) are not working correctly anymore.

Home, Products, ... is not clickable.

Nothing so far.

Ottoottouk Tuesday, March 2, 2010 11:22:28 AM

Wow! Fantastic! Well done guys! I am very impressed by the speed and sheer determination of The Opera Dev Team finalising this version! I really enjoyed getting the frequent test builds, but think you guys deserve a holiday now! wink yes

Jurgis2007 Tuesday, March 2, 2010 11:22:29 AM

Thanks for fast release smile But I have one problem, it is not big smile

right-left scroll won't work.
I am using logitech mouse with set-point software, and in opera 10.10 everything was working fine smile

As bhsand said this is down to Google/Youtube's codec choices. There is a way around that on UNIX though. p

Teal_One Tuesday, March 2, 2010 11:24:29 AM

Is the Final == RC5 (Build 3296)???

bhsand Tuesday, March 2, 2010 11:24:54 AM

Yes.

Don't forget to read the small letters:

To try it for yourself, grab a nightly. Keep in mind that on slower machines, the timing may not be perfect, and you need to do a cached run of the test (load it once, close window, open new window, load it again) to avoid delays from the network.

eini Tuesday, March 2, 2010 11:28:23 AM

Congrats! party
Very good work!!!!

Seems like there are a lots of downloads at the moment, or is there another reason why the webservers are so slow?

Fair enough, then it will have been looked at an prioritised by now.

Ben Ryvesbenryves Tuesday, March 2, 2010 11:30:51 AM

Congratulations on shipping! Sadly "Find in page" is still virtually unusable in the "Source" view (the highlighted results are very pale grey on white, not very visible), hopefully this will be fixed soon (DSK-282798).

damir lukiccalypsori Tuesday, March 2, 2010 11:31:23 AM

It would be really nice if someone could solve a bug in Opera's e-mail client that won't let me open or save attachments. Especially in a release version. smile

Nfes64 Tuesday, March 2, 2010 11:32:20 AM

Congratulations to the team on their excellent work!

oysteint Tuesday, March 2, 2010 11:32:46 AM

Woho! Thank you Opera!

Found bugs:
- Dromaeo-test failes (stops running) when it comes to the regular expressions.
- Speed dial entered a state where Opera could not show the right-click pop-up menu, and no thumbnails were shown. Had to go into opera:config, and edit the speed dial state to another number than '0' which was the current state.
- I choose to upgrade my Opera 10.10. Everything went wrong. Looked like a mixture between those two versions. Had to Uninstall, delete AppData-folders, reboot, reinstall 10.50 before it worked (not sure all those points were necessary).

I'm running Windows 7, 32 bit.

Proxxis Tuesday, March 2, 2010 11:32:56 AM

Thank You! yes
I'm excited about Opera 10.50 since first pre-alpha build smile

The mac build so far seems better than the last really performance-eating one. Still in some flash-apps special characters like ?öäü and so on don't work: see kyte.tv.

Edit: Maybe that's cause of my flash, I use 10.1 Beta 3. Dunno if anyone else has these probs.

EricJH Tuesday, March 2, 2010 11:37:19 AM

Congrats with the release of 10.5 for Windows. coffee sherlock You guys must be wasted from the development speed.

Time now for the people on the other platforms now to catch up.

'Find in page' is not working properly;

When positioned at the top of this page and searching for a word e.g. 'bookmarks', nothings seems to be found. If you hit F3 to goto next word it jumps down to the first incident.

Liu Yunliu-yun Tuesday, March 2, 2010 11:50:44 AM

nice smile but feels its a bit too rush.

Charlie ClarkMuzzlehatch Tuesday, March 2, 2010 11:53:39 AM

@DarkRadeon - All the tests pass. Can you please go and troll somewhere else.

@Opera devs - the first run screen http://www.opera.com/portal/startup/ is seriously borked on installs of 10.5 in Windows XP and Mac OS (clean install)

Zotlan Tuesday, March 2, 2010 11:54:05 AM

alas, google analytics is still not completely functional in this build.

MetalRaise Tuesday, March 2, 2010 11:55:49 AM

Guys, there's a displaying issue with all non-english Opera startup pages, see screenshot:

http://files.myopera.com/MetalRaise/files/Opera_10.50.3296_StartupPage_German.png -

That certainly isn't a good first impression when using Opera, better fix it faaast! wink

Mitommitpl Tuesday, March 2, 2010 11:57:01 AM

Unfortunatelly the latest version (at least under Windows XP), is still not working properly with proxy "on". By "not working properly" I understand significantly longer time for loading pages. It looks like after entering address nothing happens for a long time (half a minute, minute or two), and after that it loads almost immediatelly.
Some people has reported similar problems during releasing RC versions. Please confirm!

Carlos Lópezcalopezs Tuesday, March 2, 2010 11:59:13 AM

Is the Final == RC5 (Build 3296)???

F.V.F-V Tuesday, March 2, 2010 12:00:47 PM

OK, so inline find is broken after upgrading, as I reported a couple of versions ago and hoped would be fixed before rushing to final.

Can anybody tell how to repair this? Inline find is of vital importance to me so the alternative is to downgrade.

박춘우choonn Tuesday, March 2, 2010 12:03:42 PM

World Best Browser Opera! Goodjob and Thank you^^

illiad Tuesday, March 2, 2010 12:04:47 PM

Carlos López: yes - much more on the community forum!! smile

you can drag 'find in page' to a toolbar... ???

Shaffe Tuesday, March 2, 2010 12:06:48 PM

If I choose to hide the bar menu and if I validate the preferences form, the bar menu reappears and the button menu stays visible.
Still no flash plugin.
Great job otherwise !

IusedtobeOOlli91 Tuesday, March 2, 2010 12:09:13 PM

Mouse gestures don't work on the speed dial on the mac build. Right-click menu opens, after you've closed the menu the command is done.
So far the most stable build on Mac. No crash since I installed it about an hour ago.smile
